Oh wow. For some reason, this is really unexpected. I know he was sick, but still . . .

Yeah, wow. I didn't know that he was sick.

A few months ago, I asked who would get the team when he died. Looks like it came a bit sooner than expected. I think somebody said that his family would assume ownership. Will there be large changes? Will Zeke come back? Will Laimbeer get hired as coach? Will Tom Wilson remain or will he go back to shooting Partridge Family episodes?

The jazz just lost their owner too.

I'm certainly saddened by the news. I think that overall he was a very good owner and I'm thankful to him for all of the great years.

Yeah the last time I remember seeing him at a game was during the 50 greatest Pistons ceremony last season....and then I saw him at the HOF induction event. Both times he was in a fancy electronic wheel chair and a designer sweat suit....

Pistons will be outfitted in their black bands Sunday as they pay tribute to him

If there was anybody in power under Mr D that liked Zeke, there is a possibitly that he could come back in some capacity?? Scout, work with Stuckey etc...

I had a similar thought related to Larry Brown coming back, but that will probably never happen regardless.
